Reducing maximum size for external contacts search term

Category: API

Summary: The search parameter for the External Contacts API endpoints will be limited to a maximum of 256 characters. This affects only the q parameter on the endpoints listed below.

Context: This change is being made to maximize the performance of external contact queries.

Impact: Applications sending queries in excess of 256 characters will need to truncate or break apart their queries once this change goes into effect. Requests sending queries longer than 256 characters will now be rejected with a 400 response.

Date of Change: On or after Saturday, July 27, 2019 EST

Impacted APIs:

  • /api/v2/externalcontacts/contacts
  • /api/v2/externalcontacts/organizations
